Visual effects schedules are applied to audiovisual performances with differing visual effects applied in correspondence with differing elements of musical structure. Segmentation techniques applied to one or more audio tracks (e.g., vocal or backing tracks) are used to compute some of the components of the musical structure. In some cases, applied visual effects schedules are mood-denominated and may be selected by a performer as a component of his or her visual expression or determined from an audiovisual performance using machine learning techniques.

The present invention relates to a method for processing and playing audio data comprising the steps of receiving mixed input data and playing recombined output data. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device 10 for processing and playing audio data, preferably DJ equipment, comprising an audio input unit for receiving a mixed input signal, a recombination unit 32 and a playing unit 34 for playing recombined output data. In addition, the present invention relates to a method and a device for representing audio data, i.e. on a display.

A method, system and processes to develop a patient tailored music therapy based on Indian Classical Music compositions to treat ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is described. According to this present invention there is provided a method to develop a tailored music therapy for treating patients suffering from ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) based on the patient's response and a system to measure response of the patient to music therapy and mindfulness inputs. This invention comprises of a process to determine suitable Indian Classical Music compositions playlist for use in treating the patient (FIG. 1) followed by further tuning of the selections allowable note levels, ramp up and ramp down times to and from allowable note levels, melody hold times and rhythm pattern selection to develop an optimum waveform (FIG. 2) all based on measuring the patient response using a multiple input—physical movement, audio and brain wave response measurement system (FIG. 3) or thru visual observations. The invention also provides a process to determine daily therapy and mindfulness time and a process for monthly music therapy and mindfulness tailoring. The invention also provides a system (FIG. 3) to measure patient response to the music therapy and mindfulness, which can be used in conjunction with or in place of visual observations. In this invention the patient starts off with a therapy and mindfulness tailoring session where a playlist of Indian Classical Music Raga compositions is first developed, selected based on the patient's response as measured by the system provided in FIG. 3 or thru visual observations. Then patient specific optimum note level, beat rhythm pattern and rhythm pattern frequency, ramp up to and down times from optimum note levels are determined based on the patient's response to create a waveform (FIG. 2). The playlist selections are then modified manually or by a computer program using the waveform parameters and when played to the patient elicits a Calm Range Response pattern defined by a state of stimulated mindfulness but not falling asleep characterized by specific range of motion, audio or brain wave response unique to the patient. The specific pieces of the waveform are derived by varying waveform parameters and measuring the response of the patient (FIGS. 4 A, B, C, D) using the response measuring system (FIG. 3) or thru visual observations. The invention also describes a process to develop daily listening period duration (FIG. 5). The invention describes a process used

The present invention provides a method for processing audio data, comprising the steps of providing input audio data containing a mixture of audio data including first audio data of a first musical timbre and second audio data of a second musical timbre different from said first musical timbre, decomposing the input audio data to provide decomposed data representative of the first audio data, transforming the decomposed data to obtain third audio data.

Embodiments of the present invention provide for systems and methods for dynamically synthesizing audio files on a mobile device. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an exemplary audio file recorder with unique music-related features, such as synchronization of multiple pieces of content by the beats per minute, with functionality for content creation, editing, layering of multiple tracks, and sharing. Further, embodiments of the present invention are also related to an exemplary computer software platform which allows users to record any audio into their mobile device and organize the audio files in a manner that allows the files to be easily retrieved and shared.

A system and method for an adaptable effects unit is provided. In one aspect, the system allows users to manipulate audio signals transmitted from a musical instrument prior to being output by a speaker. In another aspect, the system allows users to create virtual signal chains that may be used to alter audio signals of a musical instrument without the need of multiple effects units. In yet another aspect, the system may be used in a way that allows a user to customize the controls of a physical effects unit so that the controls better suit the user's needs. Generally, the system allows users alter and customize a physical effects unit via a user interface of a computing device. The physical effects unit is configured in a way such that it may receive instructions from the computing device.

An information processing device includes a control part. The control part executes: receiving operation information of an electronic musical instrument from the electronic musical instrument; and transmitting operation associated information of the electronic musical instrument corresponding to the operation information to a terminal of a user of the electronic musical instrument, the terminal being different from the electronic musical instrument.

The present disclosure generally relates to an audio interface arrangement. In one embodiment, a handheld device comprises the audio interface arrangement (not shown). The audio interface arrangement comprises at least two audio connecting means, wherein each of the at least two audio connecting means is adapted to connect a respective audio accessory to the audio interface arrangement. The audio interface arrangement further comprises an accessory determining means, which is coupled to said at least two audio connecting means. The accessory determining means is adapted to determine which type of audio accessory is connected to the respective audio connecting means. Hereby it is made possible to provide a handheld device that offers a user with a possibility to connect several different audio accessories to the handheld device, which accessories may be connected to the handheld device at the same time.

An audio converter device and a method for using the same. The audio converter device receives the digital audio data from a first device via a local area network. The audio converter device decompresses the digital audio data and converts the digital audio data into analog electrical data. The audio converter device transfers the analog electrical data to an audio playback device.

A highly configurable controller is described that includes a number of different types of control mechanisms that emulate a wide variety of conventional control mechanisms using pressure and location sensitive sensors that generate high-density control information which may be mapped to the controls of a wide variety of devices and software.
